violet baby." And Patty kissed the back of the soft little neck and
squeezed the baby up in her arms.
"Now Baby Boo must go away," said Marie, at last, "for the Pitty
Yady must get dressed and go downstairs."
Patty had brought a morning frock, of pink linen with a black velvet
sash, and she looked very trim and sweet as she at last declared
herself ready.

men awaiting them.

Cameron; "you CAN'T have been sleeping until this time!"

smiling.
"Both of which you might as well have done down here," Cameron
declared. "I adore my baby niece, and Mr. Harper and I would have
been more than glad to listen to your exchange of confidences."

mock horror. "Kimono confidences are very, VERY sacred. But it may

"Which ear?" asked Kenneth, feeling of both of his.
"Fair exchange," said Marie, gaily. "Tell us what you said about us,
and we'll tell you what we said about you.
